## What is this?
This package is a [unified][] processor with support for parsing HTML as input
and serializing HTML as output by using unified with
[`rehype-parse`][rehype-parse] and [`rehype-stringify`][rehype-stringify].
See [the monorepo readme][rehype] for info on what the rehype ecosystem is.
## When should I use this?
You can use this package when you want to use unified, have HTML as input, and
want HTML as output.
This package is a shortcut for
`unified().use(rehypeParse).use(rehypeStringify)`.
When the input isn’t HTML (meaning you don’t need `rehype-parse`) or the
output is not HTML (you don’t need `rehype-stringify`), it’s recommended to
use `unified` directly.
When you’re in a browser, trust your content, don’t need positional info on
nodes or formatting options, and value a smaller bundle size, you can use
[`rehype-dom`][rehype-dom] instead.
When you want to inspect and format HTML files in a project on the command
line, you can use [`rehype-cli`][rehype-cli].
## Install
This package is [ESM only][esm].
In Node.js (version 16+), install with [npm][]:
```sh
npm install rehype
```
In Deno with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:
```js
import {rehype} from 'https://esm.sh/rehype@13'
```
In browsers with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:
```html
<script type="module">
import {rehype} from 'https://esm.sh/rehype@13?bundle'
</script>
```
## Use
Say we have the following module `example.js`:
```js
import {rehype} from 'rehype'
import rehypeFormat from 'rehype-format'
const file = await rehype().use(rehypeFormat).process(`
<html lang=en>
<head>
<title>Hi!</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello!</h1>
</body></html>`)
console.error(String(file))
```
…running that with `node example.js` yields:
```html
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Hi!</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello!</h1>
</body>
</html>
```
## API
This package exports the identifier [`rehype`][api-rehype].
There is no default export.
### `rehype()`
Create a new unified processor that already uses
[`rehype-parse`][rehype-parse] and [`rehype-stringify`][rehype-stringify].
You can add more plugins with `use`.
See [`unified`][unified] for more information.
## Examples
### Example: passing options to `rehype-parse`, `rehype-stringify`
When you use `rehype-parse` or `rehype-stringify` manually you can pass options
directly to them with `use`.
Because both plugins are already used in `rehype`, that’s not possible.
To define options for them, you can instead pass options to `data`:
```js
import {rehype} from 'rehype'
import {reporter} from 'vfile-reporter'
const file = await rehype()
.data('settings', {
emitParseErrors: true,
fragment: true,
preferUnquoted: true
})
.process('<div title="a" title="b"></div>')
console.error(reporter(file))
console.log(String(file))
```
…yields:
```txt
1:21-1:21 warning Unexpected duplicate attribute duplicate-attribute hast-util-from-html
⚠ 1 warning
```
```html
<div title=a></div>
```
## Syntax
HTML is parsed and serialized according to WHATWG HTML (the living standard),
which is also followed by all browsers.
## Syntax tree
The syntax tree format used in rehype is [hast][].
## Types
This package is fully typed with [TypeScript][].
It exports no additional types.
## Compatibility
Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with maintained
versions of Node.js.
When we cut a new major release, we drop support for unmaintained versions of
Node.
This means we try to keep the current release line, `rehype@^13`, compatible
with Node.js 16.
## Security
As **rehype** works on HTML, and improper use of HTML can open you up to a
[cross-site scripting (XSS)][xss] attack, use of rehype can also be unsafe.
Use [`rehype-sanitize`][rehype-sanitize] to make the tree safe.
Use of rehype plugins could also open you up to other attacks.
Carefully assess each plugin and the risks involved in using them.
